Re: SndBuf seems to be mono; how to load a stereo wav file?Subject description: here is how to read a stereo wavfile into SndBuf that doesn't turn to mono

if you load (.read) a wav file into a SndBuf, it turns into mono (sum of L+R).

I've been following this thread, trying to recall the troubles I've had with SndBuf and stereo, but I don't think I got any further than what you posted here. Thanks for posting all the info! The ChucK forum isn't as active as it has been...

There actually seems to be a new release around the corner, so there is still hope for this.

I have only glanced briefly at CSound and Supercollider. I think I stuck with ChucK partly because of the then enthusiastic community here, partly because parts of ChucK is heavily inspired by Java (which has been my main programming environment professionally almost since it appeared), and partly because I like the clock concept. I don't know enough about the other languages to offer any better comparison than that. I love to talk with ChucK using OSC from my monome, but my understanding is that OSC works equally well in all these environments.

The monome is my main visual interface - if you're on a Mac you might want to check out MAUI (though I'm at a loss where to find documentation for it). Since I'm a Java man, I've done some ChucK applications that rely on a Java GUI that talks OSC, but I usually stay in ChucK-land. I've done one app that relied on a command line interface ( http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?highlight=cli+sequencer&t=21431 ).

I've made stabs at PureData, which I mostly find confusing. I am currently dabbling with Max4Live, I am slightly hopeful that I might make some use out of it.

On a higher level, the Nord Modular G2 is probably what I've used the most throughout the 7-8 years I've been dabbling with these kinds of music tools. The free demo is well worth checking out! It's more limited, but incredibly accessible.

Hello there. I'm have my head mixed up, i can't make actual difference between sndbuf and recvbuf? I wonder, do they have a different behaviour/role when using stream forest City HS Class of 1975 sockets ?Last edited by McKein on Thu Jul 18, 2013 8:32 am; edited 2 times in total
